parchment. There seems to be no apparent means of exit apart from the way you (Kha) entered. Looking back over your shoulder, it appears

speak, and moves his hands in a spiral motion in front of him, making smaller
and smaller loops as he goes. He takes a drop of metallic liquid from a vial in
his beltpouch, drops it on his tounge,
and blows a pale mist out his mouth. The mist forms into a circular shape, and
settles in front of him. (Floating Disk) **(57) DM: (11, Kha)(57) DM: An explosion rocks the chamber, as

his face full of sadness as he looks at Kha's still
form. A yelled curse word, and a kick in the ribs for Farouk. **(57) DM: (no, he's dead.)** (56) Agatha speaks more
smoothly as wind returns to her. "Farouk, need him alive." **(65) Git: :eyes

closes Kha's eyes before returning to Agatha's side, "Be still. I have some healing spells
left." **(56) Agatha: "Kha. Summon the djann for Kha.."(57) DM: (he's unconscious, so probably not)** (56) Agatha rises to her
feet slowly. **** (58) J'hzuu looks at Agatha "Why do all need him alive?" **(57) DM: (and since the room is on fire, most
likely not)** (65) Git moves to kneel
beside Kha's body, asking Lellick,
"He's dead?" **** (56) Agatha turns to the
Khajit. "How is this going to look to anyone who
wasn't here?" **(39) Lellick: "I'm
afraid so."(56) Agatha: "We
barged in unannounced. Forced down a door. And now two people are dead."** (58) J'hzuu considers it
for a moment, then nods. "J'hzuu sees. He walks
over to Kha's body, the floating disk following
behind. "Put Kha on this, all should get him out

and grabs Farouk. "Let us go and show everyone the dissenter." Maximus
then moves towards the door dragging Farouk. **** (65) Git sighs morosely
as he sits somber a moment. Before throwing back his head and calling out,
"Jamilla!" **(51) Maximus: (And Maximus doesn't know
Farouk's still alive, he just is taking the body for proof)** (39) Lellick , now that
he has the luxury of doing so, reaches up to touch Agatha's
elbow. "May Tevesh ease this woman's pain and
make her whole again." **** (65) Git nods to the khajit and pulls Kha onto the
disk **(39) Lellick: (Cure

behind Farouk, dagger in hand, read to go for the throat if he moves. The disk
follows J'hzuu, carrying Kha's
body. **** (65) Git then moves to
check on the condition of the efreet. Dagger ready as
checks if it's just playing dead **(56) Agatha: "Thanks,
but nevermind me. I'm just worn out is all."** (58) J'hzuu motions to Lellick, and points to his singed fur and patches of burnt
flesh. **(56) Agatha: "We
need Farouk's corpse, lest his followers try to tamper with it."** (39) Lellick spots J'hzuu and smiles sheepishly, "Oh, sorry." He
moves over to the cat-man, reaching up to touch his arm, "May Tevesh ease this man's pain and make him whole again."

to Farouk's body, and takes a small amount of wool from his spell-pouch. He
gestures and speaks, and tosses the wool in the air, where it bursts in a puff
of bluish smoke. The smoke settles on Farouk's body, and when it clears, it
resembles a platter of food, perhaps for a feast. **(51) Maximus: *raises and eyebrow* "Now
we lift him onto one of your floating disks and cater him out as a gift for Batina or someone** (56) Agatha looks strangly at the illusion, then at the khajit.

of his concentration being used to maintain the illusion **(56) Agatha: "Not
exactly what I would have done, but it should work."** (65) Git stares at the
sorcerer in disbelief. "Even if he looks like a platter, he isn't going to
carry like one." **** (58) J'hzuu shrugs, and
gestures to the disk behind him. **** (51) Maximus looks to Agatha,
"When you feel like it wanna help me lift him
onto the disk?" **** (65) Git just sighs and
shakes his head **** (56) Agatha helps
Maximus with the corpse. **(56) Agatha: "Aye,
I'm fit for that much at least."(58) J'hzuu: :As

that it does look like a platter of fruit being lifted.** (57) Jamilla, the Tasked

you think Kha got that way himself?"(57) Jamilla, the Tasked: I do not know what to think. It is inconceivable that he
would have attacked you, bound as you are by the bond of salt.(51) Maximus: "He broke the Bond of
Salt and many other things, not to mention him being a genie of flame and
evil."** (56) Agatha is starting
to get angry again. **(65) Git: "Jamilla. As the ones who aided your Kin, you trust us,
yes?"(57) Jamilla, the Tasked: That he is an ifrit is a surprise,
but if he did break the bond, then that is reason enough.(57) Jamilla, the Tasked: That he is an ifrit is not a sin.

you don't believe us, bring us to Batina and Marwan's spy! We'll all sort it out there!"(65) Git: "No.
That he attacked us? Tried to kill Marwan, conspired
against the Everlasting, broke the bond, Killed Essafah,
Killed Kha. These are sins!"(57) Jamilla, the Tasked: Forgive me, but it is a little overwhelming to be summoned
only to be greeted with the corpse of one of our own.(58) J'hzuu: "Could
you take all to Batina? She will sort it out,
yes?"** (51) Maximus nods his head, while not feeling
sorry at Farouk's defeat he realizes it must be shocking to friends... **** (58) J'hzuu gestures at
the doorway. "Farouk's men may not be happy to see him", he says
motioning at the unconscious form. **(56) Agatha: "Well
fogive us, but we had to pass through fire and one
very thick door just in time to see our comrade die!"(57) Jamilla, the Tasked: As you wish, outlanders. It is well for you that the Sword
Dancers are not for the most part here in their barracks, though the odor of
burnt flesh is a little difficult to hide, even as a platter of fruit.(51) Maximus: "Git
do you have any perfume?"** (58) J'hzuu blinks, and
looks nervously at the doorway, not having thought of that. **(57) Jamilla, the Tasked: If you wish it, I shall fetch Batina
and Suhail, that they may determine the truth.(58) J'hzuu: 'J'hzuu thanks Jamilla"(65) Git: :sarcastically

Tehn remembering Kha loses
the grin. **** (58) J'hzuu looks at
Farouk, then takes a copper piece from his robe. He holds it to his head, and
massages his forehad with the other hand. He utters
his arcane words, and looks intently at Farouk. (Detect Thoughts) **(65) Git: :To Jamilla: "You know where to find us." :takes a
seat on thedisk, beside Farouk, dagger in hand:** (56) Agatha walks
towards Kha's body. She places a hand on his head. **(56) Agatha: "Poor
lad...Always was too curious for your own good."(65) Git: :offers Aggy in meager consolation: "He probably wouldn't be
too sad. Now he gets to see what happens when you die."** (51) Maximus kneels down next to Kha and straigtens him out
placing him on is back with his spear on his chest. Then a silver coin on each
eye. **whispering to J'hzuu,
it's a jumble of thoughts, mostly rage** (57) Jamilla, the Tasked
nods and vanishes. **(57) DM: (fyi, the
room is on fire...)(65) Git: (I
thought we left that room)(57) DM: (ok)(57) DM: (nm)(56) Agatha: "Git, no jokes please. They ain't
helping. Not me at least."** (65) Git just nods to Aggy. He wasn't even grinning from the joke anyway. **** (58) J'hzuu speaks
quietly, and rubs the top of each hand with the other. (Prestidigitation) When
he is done, he takes an arrow from the quiver on his belt and waves it in the
air, where it turns into a cotton hankerchief. He
moves over to Agatha, and hands it to her. **** (65) Git sits keeping an
eye on Farouk's unconcious form, and watching for his
men as they wait for Jamill's return **** (56) Agatha politely
refuses the handkerchief. **(56) Agatha: "That's
kind of you, but I've used up my tears years ago."** (58) J'hzuu nods and
takes it back, waving it, so that it turns into an arrow once more. He puts it
back in the quiver. **** (39) Lellick stands
close to one of the walls, waiting quietly. **** (56) Agatha whispers a
prayer. "Oneiros, I know you're having a nice
chat and tea with the lad, but you can't keep him. Not yet. He's still gotta do his ka-tet. Hell, he's
the bloody reason we're still putting up with this madness." **** (58) J'hzuu stands back,
awaiting the arrival of Batina. **(56) Agatha: ((whispering))
"Please, let us raise him. He's not done serving you yet."(70) Zane (enter): 00:18** (65) Git watches Aggy's display, but does not speak. Focusing on hs vigil istead **(57) DM: A rather tall, beautiful and
pale-skinned woman, in a floor length black robe with a black chador enters the
room. Around her neck is a silver ankh. She stops by Kha's
body, and sits by his side, with a slight smile on her face, but says nothing.** (65) Git eyes the
strange woman with interest, not sure what to say, but inquires vaguely,
"Would you be a friend of dear Kha?" **** (57) She inclines her head and says, "In a
manner of speaking, yes." **(57) Woman: As are you all.** (56) Agatha looks at the
woman, struggling to remember something. **** (57) She returns to maintaining her vigil over Kha's corpse. **(56) Agatha: "We've
seen you before, haven't we?** (51) Maximus keeps quiete
and to himself. **(57) Woman: Each of you has met me once before,
but you do not remember it. No one ever does.(65) Git: "Ah...
well then welcome to our circle. I'd offer you a refreshnment,
but I wasn't expecting company." :keeps a curious eye on the likely higher
being** (58) J'hzuu watches the
pale woman with interest, but on guard **** (39) Lellick looks up
and blinks at seeing the woman, looking at her closely... **(39) Lellick: Knowledge:
Religion Skill Check: [1d20+7] -> [8,7] = (15) ** (57) She smiles, and says nothing, instead
watching Kha. **(58) J'hzuu: Knowledge
Arcana: [1d20+5] -> [5,5] = (10)** (56) Agatha is grasping
for a memory that is out of reach, like trying to recall an old dream.
"Who- Who are you?" **(57) Woman: Who I am is not important, Agatha.** (51) Maximus looks at the woman and thinks to himeself...Fate? **(57) Woman: No, Maximus.** (39) Lellick stares
staring at her now, mouth hanging open slightly, "I.. erm..
ah... i-it's an honor to meet you." **(39) Lellick: (..starts
staring, even)** (57) She looks up and smiles gently at Lellick. "A pleasure." **(65) Git: Knowledge:
Religion Skill Check: [1d20+4] -> [13,4] = (17) ** (51) Maximus gulps and settles down against a
wall. **(57) Woman: Every person who is ever born, who
has ever lived, meets with me twice during their time. Once when they enter the
world, and once, when they leave for all time. No one ever remembers the first.** (56) Agatha glances back
at the paladin who said nothing, and then turns back to the stranger. "Can
you help him? Kha, he..." **(51) Maximus: (knowledge religion, [1d20+9]
-> [7,9] = (16) )(56) Agatha: "I
don't think it's his time. It can't be."(57) Woman: Can I help him? No. That would be
my brother, and even I do not know all that is within his book.(65) Git: "Forgive
the intrusion, but, if you can do nothing for him? why show your self to us? Or
will we simply forget when you are gone?"(57) Woman: I came....because she asked me to.
(smiles gently at Git)(65) Git: "Oh..."
:not sure if he should ask further, but can't help it: "Who asked you to,
if I may ask?"(57) Woman: He serves more than one god, though
he does not know it. She would not see him leave so soon.** (57) Woman peers at Git,
with a gentle smile. "You know who, for you have met her before...or an
aspect of her." **(65) Git: "Hmm?"
:trying to think it through: "Basht?"(57) Woman: Of course.(65) Git: "So
she is still around in one form, then?"** (39) Lellick has managed
to stop gaping like a fish, though he still looks a bit unsetted,
and gives Git a slightly bewildered look at mention
of 'aspects'. **(57) Woman: Yes, she is. Even now, she works to
save him.** (51) Maximus also looks bewildered at teh term aspects. But more so the shock of the person being
here shows on his face. **** (58) J'hzuu is standing
back, just trying to get his head around what exactly is going on. **(65) Git: "That's
good to hear. It would be a dour world with out the Godess
of Kitties." :smirks, not so much for his cynical words as the news of her
survival and that she aids their friend:(39) Lellick: Knowledge:
Religion Skill Check: [1d20+7] -> [4,7] = (11) ** (58) J'hzuu cocks a brow
at Git. **(56) Agatha: "Hmph. So the feline can't help meddling, even when she's
dead."(51) Maximus: "Batina
and Suhail wont arrive for some time will they?"
Maximus says in a quiet voice.(57) Teleute: That
depends. (smiles gently)** (56) Agatha smiles.
"I'm glad." **(56) Agatha: "Feels
so often that we're just flopping on our own."(57) Teleute: Dead in
a manner of speaking, Agatha. For as long as the ifrit lord roams the land, the gods of this land are
granted the ability to walk the earth. And so, they are working to further
their interests, as far as Fate will allow it.** (51) Maximus sinks a little farther down against
the wall, not understanding much, but enough to understand that this is
something...different like the making a bards legend..and
the idea makes him sink even more. **** (58) J'hzuu just watches
the scene, listening, but understanding very little. **** (57) Teleute kneels down
to Kha and says gently, "Kha?
It's time to wake up." **(57) DM: In a flash, the woman is gone.** Kha groans **(56) Agatha: "This
is like that time in Tolmara isn't--"** (56) Agatha loses her
train of thought. **(57) DM: Vontaros, Kha's silver spear, rolls away
from his body and begins glowing, gently at first, and then becoming more
incandescent.** (65) Git lets out a
relieved breath at signs of Kha's life. **** (58) J'hzuu starts to
move towards Kha, then stops and watches the spear
glowing. **(57) Voice of Vontaros: A life for a life, therefore the payment is made. You have
no Fate but the Fate you are given!(56) Agatha: "Kha! Damn it, lad! You had us scared."(57) DM: The spear explodes with light...and as
it fades, is shorn in two.** (39) Lellick stares,
awed. **(65) Git: "Huh?"
:stares at the spear: "Life for a life...?"** Kha weeps as Vontaros explodes **** (56) Agatha turns to Kha. "What was he talking about?" **** (58) J'hzuu ducks at the
blast of light, then looks at the two halves, shaking a little. **Kha: "He sacraficed himself so that I may live and learn"** (51) Maximus watches wide-eyed as he hastily
raises himself, all doubts cast from his mind. His focus and the duty at hand.
**Kha: "Why did
Farouk attack me? and why did I walk into his room when he obviously did not
want visitors"** Khashaks
his head "I am sorry for endangering your lives by acting before
thinking" **** (57) Batina enters the
room, carrying a jewel-encrusted scimitar at her side. **(57) Batina: What is
going on here?(65) Git: :offers
simplistically: "Because.. that is what happened. You have learned a grand
lesson from this. I'm sure you won't waste his sacrifice."** (39) Lellick makes an
effort to compose himself when Batina comes in,
taking a few deep breaths. **(57) DM: A few farisan
enter as well, and hastily take places in the room under her stern gaze.** (65) Git looks up to the
dwarf, with an odd grin: "Just capturing a traitorous efreet"
**** (56) Agatha turns to the
cleric. "Farouk was the one who killed Marwan
and Essaffah." **(65) Git: "** (58) J'hzuu turns to
face Batina and nods, recovering from his shock. **(57) Batina: Yes, so
I heard from Jamilla. Very well, Suhail
will test the truth of your words.** (57) Batina points the
scimitar at you (Git). "Show me the ifrit's corpse." **(58) J'hzuu: ((Erm, the illusion would've long since dropped. It requires
sustained concentration. The appearance of the deities stopped that))(65) Git: "What
corpse?" :points overs his shoulder on the disk:
"He's still alive."(57) DM: ((you were dreaming))(58) J'hzuu: ((Ah.
well then, he still lost concentration, didn't he?))(57) DM: ((maybe. ^ ^))(57) Batina: I see.(65) Git: (concideringcasted a few other
spells since then... yeah. I'd say he dropped it)** Kha slowly try's to
stand **(57) DM: The scimitar begins to glow with a
harsh white light.(56) Agatha: ((for
the record we probably don't remember any of what went on between the Jamilla's departure and Kha
waking up.))(56) Agatha: ((Am
I correct?))(57) Batina: Farouk,
who was once the leader of the Sword Dancers, I command you to speak in the
name of noble Hajama and answer our questions with
truth and with honor, lest the destroyer of delights carry you away forever.
Speak, and answer our questions.(57) DM: ((correct))(57) Farouk: Very well, mortal, though if I
were alive, I would destroy this place and raze it to the ground. Ask your
questions, though they will do you little good.(65) Git: "You
talk pretty big for a guy who just got hs fiery ass
handed to him."(57) Batina: The
sword informs me that the magic shall not hold for long, therefore if you have
questions to ask, speak now or forever be silent.** Khacaughs
but hold himself upright and listens to what Farouk has to say **** (58) J'hzuu emits a
snicker at Git's comment. **(58) J'hzuu: "Did
Farouk kill, was he involved in the killing of Marwan?"** (57) Farouk's spirit laughs sardonically.
"While you waste precious time here in this fortress, my lord is one step
closer to ruling this land once and for all. I served him and served him well.
Fear and tremble in the name of Khalitarius!" **Kha: "Why kill
Marwan?(58) J'hzuu: ((*or
was he involved))(57) Farouk's spirit: I attempted to slay Marwan, but did not kill him. I slew Essafah
and would have attempted to strike at that bitch next. (points at Batina)(58) J'hzuu: "Who
killed Marwan?"** (57) Farouk's spirit spits. "I do not sense
his spirit in the Beyond, so I assume that he is still alive." **(70) Zane (exit): 01:04** Kha smirks at Farouk **(39) Lellick: "I
would like to know why you wanted them dead."(65) Git: "You
were slaying the heads to claim the seat, yes? Was it your Master's order to do
so?"(57) Farouk's spirit: "Yes."(58) J'hzuu: "Where
is your master?"(57) Farouk's spirit: "In the Crypt of Badr al-Mosak, far to the
west."(65) Git: "Why?
He's laying waste to all else with his forces. Why seek to control the
Everlasting from within instead?"(58) J'hzuu: "Where
is the scroll you were reading, on the crypt?"(57) Farouk's spirit: "I made a bargain
with him. If my lord would grant me more power, I would see to it that the Everlasting's goals are twisted to support his reign, when
he comes to power. And he will, mortals, oh yes, he will."** (57) Farouk's spirit laughs maniacally. "You
have but your friend to thank for its destruction." **** (65) Git slaps the efreet in the back of the head. "No gloating just
answers." **(58) J'hzuu: "What
did it say? How do all get to this crypt?"(57) Farouk's spirit: "If he had not
invaded my home, none of this would have ever happened." (smirks at Batina)(65) Git: "Who
now?"** (57) Batina frowns on
hearing that. **** (57) Farouk's spirit describes how to get to the
Crypt when prodded by Suhail. **** (58) J'hzuu looks at Git, and looks at Kha, hiding the
movement from Batina **(56) Agatha: "How
can one sneak into the tomb undetected?"** (58) J'hzuu searches for
something to write it on and with. If he cannot find anything, he casts
Prestidigitation, and writes the words on the wall. **(58) J'hzuu: ((The
directions, that is))** Kha whispers to Git "We only have 3 of the 5 required Start Gems, I
think we need all 5 before we go after Khalitarus"
**(57) Farouk's spirit: I have never been inside
the crypt.(58) J'hzuu: "Is
Akim involved with your master?"(57) Farouk's spirit: No, he is not.(65) Git: "Is
he involved with you?"(65) Git: :Akim that is:(57) Farouk's spirit: Akim cares only for Akim.(65) Git: "Do
you have an accomplices here?"(58) J'hzuu: "Or
is anyone in the fortress, or involved with the Everlasting aware or part of
your plans, knowingly or otherwise?", J'hzuu
asks, not wanting anything to slip past because of a loophole in the wording of
the question.** (57) Farouk's spirit snorts. "Yes, but now
that I am dead, they will most likely join another faction. Mortals are so
malleable." **(57) Farouk's spirit: No.(58) J'hzuu: "Who?
Their names."(57) Farouk's spirit: Except for you and of
course, that bitch. (glares at Batina)** (58) J'hzuu looks at
Farouk, then at Batina, his brow raised? **(57) Farouk's spirit: Did you not listen,
mortal? My warriors were my tools. But now they will join another faction.(58) J'hzuu: ((Whoops,
shouldn't've been a ? there))(65) Git: "Fair
enough." :to Batina: "Do you have any
further use for him?"(57) Batina: Apart
from a memory, an unpleasant memory, no.(57) Batina: It
appears I have misjudged you, outlanders.(65) Git: "Don't
worry. It happens."(65) Git: "So
what do you want to do with him?" :getures to
Farouk:Kha: "I
misjudged Farouk. I just wanted to ask him a little about what was going on
before he attacked me."** (51) Maximus found the F12 macro key **** (57) Farouk's spirit smirks. **(57) Batina: He is
dead, we have no further use for him. What is important is to find Marwan, if he still lives.Kha: "I would
like to go back to our rooms, my face hurts and I need time to think"** (65) Git nods "He
**(65) Git: 's
around somewhere."(56) Agatha: "Can't
say I blame him."** (57) Batina nods,
releasing the ifrit's spirit. **(57) Batina: Very
well. Later, I shall summon you, with your consent, to see you on your way.** (65) Git stands and offeres the priestess a polite bow: "Thank you for
your time and patience." **(57) Batina: I trust
that Marwan will return and then reclaim his rightful
position.** Kha nods "Thank
you" **(57) Batina: You have
no Fate but the Fate you are given. (stalks off with her farisan)Kha: (( AFK for a smoke ))(71) Red Dwarf (enter): 01:30** (65) Git finally resheathes his dagger and moves to Farouk's corpse for some
post mortumpickpocketing
**(57) DM: (lol)(65) Git: Pick
Pocket Skill Check: [1d20+11] -> [7,11] = (18) (71) Red Dwarf (exit): 01:32** (58) J'hzuu looks at Git. "J'hzuu can help with
this". He speaks, and rubs his right wrist with his left hand. (Detect Magick) **(56) Agatha: "Hmph. I was just going to lop his head off. Does he
anything good."(56) Agatha: ((Does
he have anything good?*))** (39) Lellick does think
that disrespectful, but isn't very inclined to respect that particular corpse
right now anyway. **(58) J'hzuu: "His
amulet. It is protective"** (65) Git takes a bronze
armlet from the body, holding it up to J'hzuu,
"Anything?" **(58) J'hzuu: "It
is strong magick. J'hzuu
does not know what it does, but..." He shrugs. "It may have been
given to him by his master. Just because it protects does not mean it is
good"** (51) Maximus looks at what the party is doing,
"While I can't say he woudn't do the same to us,
we should check to see what the everlastings rules about this are." Then
He turns away, this act of looting highly disrespectful **(73) Elegard
(enter): 01:36(65) Git: "Great.
We'll be sure to ask before we leave." :then tosses the amulet to J'hzuu to holkd onto.(73) Elegard
(exit): 01:36(56) Agatha: "I
think the rules are 'first come, first serve'."** (58) J'hzuu catches the
amulet, and holds it a little away from him. He reluctantly puts it in a fold
in his robes. **(56) Agatha: "Maximus,
can you figure out what kind of aura these things are giving off?"(65) Git: "Come
on. Lets get the wounded to bed."(51) Maximus: "Sure, I can at least
stop any of you from wearing an evil unholy item." Max says.(Detect evil
on each item found)(57) DM: (none)** (58) J'hzuu holds the
amulet up for Maximus **** Kha whispers to the
others as they walk "Thanks, You knew Marwen was
not dead didnt you?" **(51) Maximus: (k)** (58) J'hzuu nods to Kha. "J'hzuu knew that was
what he was told. He did not know if it was true". **(58) J'hzuu: (Be
back in a few))Kha: "MM we
still have not talked to Suhail, that was the weapon Batina was wielding I think"(65) Git: "It
didn't seem very talkative."(56) Agatha: "We'll
get our chance."(74) J'hzuu (enter):
01:43(56) Agatha: "For
know, let's find our contact."(57) TaliesinNYC: Booting
'(58) J'hzuu' from room...(58) J'hzuu (exit): 01:43(65) Git: "Agreed"** Kha nods **(65) Git: "Shall
we start in the library?"(56) Agatha: "And
Kha?"Kha: "I'll go
with you. I am in pain, but I will live, for now anyways"** (39) Lellick blinks,
then takes a good look at Kha, "Ah.. I
apologize, I don't know where my head was. If you'll stay still for a moment,
I'll heal your wounds." **** (39) Lellick moves over
to Kha, reaching up to put a hand on his arm, holding
his holy symbol with the other. "May Tevesh ease
this man's pain and make him whole again." **(39) Lellick: (Losing
Hold Person to cast Cure Moderate Wounds, here's the roll:)(39) Lellick: [2d8+6]
-> [1,1,6] = (8)Kha: "I can
heal some of my own wounds as well. I am just chosing
not to at this time. I will live with the pain for a while as a reminder"** (39) Lellick raises his
eyebrows at that, "That's a rather.. extreme way to be reminded. But, as
you wish. I only have minor healing spells left now, anyway." **(57) DM: Moments later, you're in the library.** (57) Bismilla is asleep
in a corner, snoring loudly and drooling all the while. **(65) Git: ((
:pokes the DM and tells him to get back to work: ))** (65) Git moves and talkes a seat across from the sleeper and clears his throat
loudly to rouse him **** Kha starts looking
around the Library for any books or scrolls that deal with the early tenants of
the Everlasting **(57) Bismilla: Eh?
Eh? Yes, Batina, right away, Batina.
Anything you say, Batina. If I were younger, I would
kiss your feet, Batina. You are the sun that shines
across the stars, Batina. I am your eternal servamt, Batina. (snore)** (74) J'hzuu sits down
and listens to this outburst. A smile plays across his face. **(56) Agatha: "A
doormat even in his sleep."** (65) Git raises a brow
at the fat man's slumbering mutterings. Tired of listneing,
he pounds on the table to rouse the man **** Kha arches his eye brow
and looks at Bismilla then goes back to the shelves
**** (74) J'hzuu takes a
small piece of wool from his pouch, and follows the now-familiar routine of
gesture and speech. The wool forms the shape of Batina,
stading in front of Bismilla.
**** (57) Bismilla sniffs and
blubbers. **(57) Bismilla: Eh?** (57) Bismilla raises his
hands in defense, cowering. "I did as you asked, Batina!"
**(74) J'hzuu: :The
illusion towers above the man, glaring down at him:** Kha takes a few scrolls
down and starts reading them **** (74) J'hzuu causes the
illusion shake its head, in mild disaproval, as
though Bismilla is lying (Should I be making a bluff
check or something here?) **** (57) Bismilla opens his
eyes and cringes. "Please, O please, Batina, who
shines above all that is good and pure and true, please do not punish me for
coming here in this place of learned wisdom, for I seek only knowledge that
might serve us better in these, these troubled times, yes, so it is written
that we have no Fate but the Fate we are given." **** (56) Agatha intrigued,
steps back out of sight. **(57) DM: (yes)(74) J'hzuu: Bluff check [1d20+8] -> [4,8] = (12)(74) J'hzuu: ((brb))** (57) Bismilla continues
whimpering and cowering at the sight of Batina.
"After the fourth time we found traces of blue phoenix powder in Marwan's food, may he be protected from all harm by Fate
and her all-seeing eye, I thought to search Farouk's quarters for I had heard
that he had exhibited an interest in killing from afar. I did not report my
findings to you because I feared your response, on searching with ill intent. I
am sorry, truly I am. Please pleaseplease forgive me." (cringe) **(74) J'hzuu: ((Back))(74) J'hzuu: :The illusion looks at Bismilla
for a long moment, then nods once, and smiles faintly. It then gestures to J'hzuu, and walks off (Dissapearing
round a corner somewhere))(74) J'hzuu: "Farouk
has just been found guilty of murder"(57) Bismilla: Oh, it
is you. I thought I saw Batina for a moment. (yawns)** (39) Lellick almost felt
bad for having watched that, but restrains himself from saying something. It
wasn't as if that did any harm. **** (74) J'hzuu smiles
faintly for a moment. "Bismilla must have been
dreaming, yes?" **(65) Git: ((afk))(57) Bismilla: Yes.
(mumbles)(57) Bismilla: I come
here every so often. Sometimes so I can escape from the sound of her voice. (yawns)
What can I do for you?(74) J'hzuu: "Is
there a way to find if the library has a book on a particular subject?"a(57) Bismilla: I
think so. If I can remember where I put it. Maybe Mamoud
can help. I can get him for you if you like.** Kha looks up "I
would like that" **(57) Bismilla: Oh
good. (grins) I will be right back then.(74) J'hzuu: "Yes,
J'hzuu thanks Bismilla"** (57) Bismilla gets up
and knocks over his chair, turning to look at you with an embarassed
grin. "Excuse me." **** (56) Agatha gets out her
axe. **(65) Git: "Well..
as fascinating as this is. I'm going to go find something else to amuse myself
with."** (65) Git stands from the
table and heads for the door. "I'll see you all in a bit." **(74) J'hzuu: "Goodbye"(56) Agatha: "Call
me jumpy, but I get the feeling there's an ambush coming."(56) Agatha: ((after
the fat man leaves))** Kha puts the scrolls
away and stands **** (74) J'hzuu looks at Agatha strangely. "Agatha is
jumpy. J'hzuu does not think Bismilla
is against all" **** Kha concentrates on
himself for a moment **Kha: "Oneiros, The Lord of Fate, I beg of you, plead with Teleute that these wounds not be fatal."Kha: ((Gain [2d8+4]
-> [4,3,4] = (11)HP))(56) Agatha: "Hm. You're probably right. After that business with Farouk,
I must still be on edge. Still..."** (56) Agatha shifts her
grip on the axe. **** (39) Lellick gives Agatha a small smile, "Be calm. Farouk's shade did say
that he had no allies here who knew of his plans. There is no reason for anyone
to attack us here." **** (57) MamoudibnAsraAbd
al-Jari enters the room, with Bismilla
in tow. **(74) J'hzuu: "No,
Farouk said that his underlings would work for other masters now that Farouk is
dead. They could easily know of his plans. In fact, several could be completeing them now." He doesm't
seem the least bit disturbed at this thought.(57) Bismilla: Here
is Mamoud, as I promised. I will leave you now.
(yawns, mumbling)(74) J'hzuu: "J'hzuu thanks Bismilla"(57) MamoudibnAsraAbd al-Jari:
I have heard of your deeds. I am impressed,
outlanders.Kha: "Thank
you, so Marwen is still alive?"** (57) MamoudibnAsraAbd
al-Jari permits himself a small smile. "Yes, he
is, outlander." **(57) MamoudibnAsraAbd al-Jari:
I asked you to perform this service for me, in return
for a gift I would grant you.Kha: "That is
good, I only found one person I would have supported as leader"(57) MamoudibnAsraAbd al-Jari:
We cannot gift you resources, for we have much
rebuilding to do in the wake of Farouk's plotting all these years. However, I
have taken some time to think things through in my....absence.(57) MamoudibnAsraAbd al-Jari:
So therefore, I grant to you the gift of Suhail, that you may better put his talents, which are many
to use.** Kha looks at Mamoud **** (57) MamoudibnAsraAbd
al-Jari removes his turban, and what appears to be a
wig, tossing it to the floor. **** (74) J'hzuu 's eyes
open. He looks to the others, to see their reactions. **(57) MamoudibnAsraAbd al-Jari:
Yes, it has been too long, and so, Marwan
must step out into the light, and return to claim his rightful position.** (51) Maximus doesn;t
look to surprised. **** (56) Agatha stares
open-mouthed for a moment, then smiles. **** (57) Marwan, the Caliph
of Shadows wipes his face on the hem of his sleeve, revealing himself
underneath a disguise. **** (74) J'hzuu 's eyes open
further, before letting out a small chuckle and grinning. **Kha: "Realy? IsntSuhail
he a servent of Hajama?"(39) Lellick: "That..
that is quite a generous gift. Thank you."(56) Agatha: "Hmph. Well, aren't you the clever one?"(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: You have many questions.(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: Suhail is a servant of Ra, the Ever-Living, outlander.(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: It is a secret irony that in an order dedicated to the gods
of the Loregiver, that a judge sits in judgment over
those who seek to overthrow those who are worshipped in this land.Kha: "Ahh, Batina led us to believe
otherwise. I wonder if he knows the Mace we have that was talking before we
came here"(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: Perhaps.** Kha suddenly looks sad
**(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: Suhail has many gifts and seeks to share them with those who are
suitable. As you are in need of such talents, I thought that perhaps you might
have use for them.Kha: "I had a
friend Vontaros, who was a servernt
of Oneiros, the god I follow, he sacraficed
himself so that I could live."(74) J'hzuu: ((afk a min))** (57) Marwan, the Caliph
of Shadows nods. **(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: Perhaps, should you accept him, he will become a new friend.Kha: "I would
like to speak with Suhail, though I do not know who
among us could use him, I am not trained with that type of weapon"** (57) Marwan, the Caliph
of Shadows smiles gently. "You do know that he is both a cleric and a
sword, correct?" **Kha: "Yes, I
was told that"(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: Very well then. Know that he is called the Breaker of the
Ninth Chain. I have never been able to divine why.(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: I shall speak with Batina so that
you might speak with Suhail freely.Kha: "Thank
you"(51) Maximus: "I also would like to
talk to Suhail, if only to find out what an
intelligent weapon feels like. Though I think the differences in
religion would prevent me from weilding him."(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: Now then, there is a feast tonight, to be held in your
honor. I would be honored if you were to attend that feast. Tomorrow, I shall
send you on your way.(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: Return to your quarters, and I shall have the cleric sent to
you there.** Kha nods "Thank
you, I think I will go get cleaned up before the feast, my face must still be a
bloody mess" **(57) Marwan, the Caliph of Shadows: I thank you again, for discovering the traitor. I am in your
debt.(57) DM: (and on this note, we'll stop. Git, come by tomorrow an hour before the game)(65) Git: (uh..
ok)
